We Catholics do not "worship" Mother Mary, we only honour her as the mother of Christ and ask her to pray for us. Just as it is difficult for a son to refuse his mother's request, so it is with our Lord Jesus and His mother.

When it comes to religion, people should learn to mind their own beliefs and doctrines. There's nothing to gain by castigating others. It is called RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE.

why does the catholic church give people sleepless nights?? why? will God judge u by the church u attended or by ur deeds? even look at people trying to do Gods job for him. judging!! another person even said catholic church Jesus is a mamas boy who listens to his mom. guess what, he did at the wedding feast.
yea. That was a living mary who sought the sons help for a family. But now, she is dead n worshipig her idol is wrong. Praying to her or asking her for favours is necromancy which the bible condemns.

EvilMetahuman:
yeah

You only bow to the moon
you forgot to mention the star and also the stone that fell from heaven which they worship in mecca.
Both Christianity and Islam are two sides of the same coin.
I will explain.
When the pagan Egyptians wants to practice their occultic rituals,they will first say.
Amen Ra,Amen Dei
the night and day
Islam and Christianity
the moon with star and the sun.
Look closely at the holy sacrament and you will realise that its the sun symbol,then the iman also carry the symbol of moon and star.
Both religions complete the day.
Moslems worship on Friday while Christians do theirs on Sunday,the day of the sun.
Either of both religions are still part of the ancient pagan religion.

Islam worships the sun god ra, that's why you guys always face the east where the sun rises from to pray
BetaThings:


Do Muslims pray to an idol?
Have you ever seen a muslim worshipping an image? We don't even use pictures in the mosque
But we know the typical image of "Jesus"
If you mean the kaabah, how many muslims even go to Makkah in their lifetime
There arover 1b muslims, a man lives for 80 (?) years. With about 4 mill people going for hajj, in 80 years only 320 people will go for hajj in 80 year
We have not considered double counting and the fact that 80 is top range of life expectancy

As for you, how many Gods do you pray to - Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is one God not enough? Won't they disagree when they exceed one?
Incidentally. there is a father, no mother
there is a son, no daughter

Anyway enjoy

So dear catholics, leave judgment for God, do what is right. Catholic church has, is and will still b waxing strong dat even d gate of hell cannot prevail over it.

Hypocrites everywhere. I'm not Catholic, but those who condemn Catholics honour their pastors and their wife's, they call them Papa and Mama or Mummy and Daddy, they bow down before them whether old or young and you are condemning someone who honours the mother of our Saviour.

Idolatry is peak in the catholic shrine church.


The difference is that, their idols are beautiful compared to the ugly scary ones in the traditional shrines.

Praying to the so called virgin Mary is idolatry!
Praying to angels is idolatry!
Praying to saints in heaven is idolatry!


Pls, if you can't cite a single scripture to back up your opposing fact to this, remain forever dumb and go and die!
PRAYING TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN GOD THE FATHER IS IDOLATORY.

Both are worshipping idols.
Only that the one kneeling to the statue of virgin Mary is too irate, dogmatic and self-righteous to even know he is worshipping an idol.

With that said, I'm so sure Catholics won't make heaven.
They worship graven images,
They don't read the bible,
They interfere with the dead.

Catholics are closer to Islam than they are to Christianity

frustratedrat:
though i'm a born catholic, i see some rationality in his post

My friend remain where you are. Many are the devices of the enemy and Lord delivers the righteous from them all.
Ponder on this:

Numbers 21: 7-9

"7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. [8] The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” [9] 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

In this verse, we understood that God himself asked Moses to build a bronze statue of snake and anyone bitten by snake who looks unto the statue will be saved. If the image of a snake can save lives, how much more the image of Christ and the Mother of all Mothers (Virgin Mary). Let me stop here please but ponder on the above."

"Many are called but few are chosen". Many Christians in the world, but few are truly Christ-like! The Catholic Church remains the dominant force in Christian faith, despite the persecution and critism of over 2 million years.

The funny thing is that Muslims believe Jesus exist so Christianity/Islam are both idolatry abi..educate yourself

The Jesus Muslims are talking about is not the same Jesus you're talking about.

For instance, Muslism don"t believe the real Jesus was born of a virgin, they don't believe he is their saviour.

Muslims believe in the real Jesus who was black, but you believe in a fake Jesus. Rome conducted the greatest identity theft in the history of the world.

Until you understand the Jesus you believe was invented, you'll never understand this.

2 wrongs don't make a right ma'am.
make peace with your God sir. If God is truely a loving father, he will not punish someone for praying to him through someone.
If God is loving father, he will not send someone to hell for honouring a woman he first blessed through the message of an Angel.
These people you talk about receive answers to their prayers. I'm a Catholic and I don't remember the last ti.e I went to kneel down in front of Mary but people who do it have faith and it works for them. They don't do it because they worship her, they do it as a form of sending your mom to ask your father for something on your behalf.
Christians keep fighting and trying to convert fellow Christians but forget to convert atheist or themselves.
If you are not Catholic visit a Catholic priests or join EWTN RADIO and ask your questions. They have all the time to answer you without insulting you like many people here will do.
Remember to make peace with your God and forget about who speaks to him direct or though and intercessor. Whether such person writes his prayer request or says it out. All that doesn't matter. God is too God and loving and merciful and righteous even beyond our understanding. That's y anyone can fabricate a story of what God has told him because such stories are unverifiable.

Okay,first sensible question. I'm not too interested in the idol worship brouhaha,it's secondary in my opinion. The quoted verse is like a street sign directing you to the One True Church. In the voice of one of my lecturers back then: "There's only one Church,the others are just protesting".

When the topic is about Catholics, everybody will be quoting bible and claiming holiness. Just a post of less than 3hrs has 3 pages already. Is it only idolatry that is in the only sin in the bible? If you have ever had sex as a christian before marriage and you are against this you are wrong. Why did God asked Moses to mould a molten serpent that anybody that look up to it will be saved when the Israelites were bitten by snake in the desert? So God has turned idol worshipper abi? You people call on Jesus but keep insulting her mother and call her envelope or mere messenger. In Lk 1, God was the first to honour Mary. Lk 1:28-45. Pentecostal refused to read this passage because this is where Honouring Mary came about. You don't worship Idol but you bow before the chair which your pastors sat on and in defense you say the person is tapping anointing. If you can tap anointing from pastors chair then I can also tap same from the woman who God called Blessed and highly favoured. If you have a picture of your pastor in your house you are an idol worshipper. Everybody claimed to be holy in Nigeria but steal church money. If you are a winner living around Ota can you tell me you are not aware of some pastors that stole dollars recently and were caught because the they refused to increase the 50k they give to the cab man every Monday? Those ones will come here and be calling people idol worshippers. People that visit babalawo so as to get contract in the church will be talking nonsense here. Catholics Honour Mary and never worship her. Your pastors Go go around with armed bodyguard but tell you not to be afraid of anything. I wish it is a Catholic priest that is Nigeria vice president, they would have criticize Catholics till now but because Na Dem, everybody is quiet.

U guys like twisting de bible a lot to support mary worship. BTW nobody is against honouring mary but putting up her idol n praying to it n asking her for prayers is wrong.

We have heard u, leave us like that.... But Protestants ask their pastors to pray for them ryt?

Quote the verse in the bible where Mary died or shut up! If you don't know difference between honor and worship why not just say so and stop displaying your ignorance?
Besides necromancy was a pagan ritual. Research and learn.

the Catholics aka Italian mafias first swindled people of their money when pope Leo told saint Thomas Aquinas,you see my good friend Thomas,unlike the first pope i can't say silver and gold have i none,thomas told him and neither can you say in the name of Jesus rise up and walk,
centuries later,the catholic mafia would start swindling people of their lives by staging wars in the name of crusades and being carried away by bloodlust,they inaugurated the inquisition.
The church later came to Africa to make Europeans out of Africans by giving us English names after baptism while Islam gives hausas Arabic name after conversion.
